GARMENT. 7

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented N 20 1917,

Application filed September 21, 1916. Serial No. 121,355. 1

To aZZ whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JULIUS L. CABELINSKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improve ment in Garments, of which the following is a specification.

It is customary to provide, in connection with rain coats of thin material adapted to be folded into a small space, a ag or sack in which the garment may be placed, when folded, to make a small bundle. As this bag frequently becomes lost or misplaced, or is liable not to be at hand when wanted, this method of providing a case for the garment is open to objection.

The object of my invention is to provide, in connection with an ordinary rain coat, or like garment, a convenient means for receiving the garment, which is incorporated in, or practically made a part of the garment.

I accomplish this object by the means shown in the accompanying drawing, in which;

Figure 1 is a view of the inner side of an ordinary rain coat provided with means embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional View on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Figs. 3 to 7, inclusive, are views showing the difierent steps in the folding of the coat, preparatory to placing it in the holding sack.

Figs. 8 and 9 are views of opposite sides of the package, after the garment has been placed in the sack.

In the drawing, a indicates the body of an ordinary rain coat of thin, waterproof material, which is adapted to be readily folded. The usual transverselyextending sidepocket-opening a is formed through the garment approximately midway of its length, and a pocket-section b' is attached to the garment about the upper edge of the opening a and depends at the inner side of the garment. The usual flap 0, for the pocket-opening, is preferably provided.

According to my invention, I provide a sack d, one side-portion of which is attached at its top edge to the garment about the under side of the pocket-opening a, so that its opposite top-edge-portion hangs loosely against the inner side of the garment, the side and bottom edge-portions of the pocketsection 6 being attached to the side of the sack d, which is attached to the garment 7 so that a pocket is formed therebetween, one

side of the sack thus forming one side of the pocket. In this connection, it may be noted that it is not of vital importance whether the sack (Z, or the pocket be formed of continuous material, but it is advantageous to have the same piece of material serve both as the side of the pocket and of the sack. The unattached portion of the mouth of the sack (Z is provided with an elastic drawing band 6, which is adapted'to contract the mouth of the sack.

-When the coat is in use, the sack (Z merely hangs between the pocket and the inner side of the coat, as best illustrated in Fig. 2,and when the coat is to be folded and placed therein, it is first folded so that the folds are of the same width as the mouth of the sack, as best shown in Fig. 3, and then it is doubled at the pocket-opening, which is approximately midway of its length, so that the folded garment lies at one side of the sack, and it is not overlapped thereby, as indicated in Figs. 4: and 5. The garment as thus folded is. then again folded transversely, until the length of'the fold is substantially the same as the depth of the bag, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, and then it is inserted in the bag, or the latter is drawn thereover, the mouth of the sack being permitted to contract about it, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, so that a compact bundle is formed.

The above-described construction increases the cost of manufacture but slightly, and a case is thus provided for the garment which is always at hand.

I claim 1. A garment of the character described, having a pocket-opening located in the middle portion of its length, two sacks arranged side by side and having a common intermediate side-portion, the mouth of one of said sacks being connected to the garment about said opening to form a pocket, and arranged at the inner side of the garment, and the other sack being arranged between the pocket and the garment and having the portion of its mouth opposite the pocket provided with an elastic band and adapted to be opened to receive the folded garment therein.

2. A garment of the character described having a pocket opening accessible from the outside of the garment, a pocket arranged on the inner side of the garment leading from said 0 enin and a section of material whereb the 'a-rment is ada' ted to be folded 1 37 I secured to the pocket outwardly beyond the and inserted into said sack.
